Good morning shinies,
I may or may not get the package from Italy today, delivered to my door by DHL.
The package from Centenary had problems when they had made an invoice 20€ higher than what I paid, and set the shipping price at 225€, we have to pay 25% VAT on what comes to us, and also 25% VAT on the shipping price.
We hope that the paper mill will be sorted out today.

Good morning shiny people. I saw this morning that sourcemore has a new contest going and have to wonder how they can do that when they can’t ship here. Also, I spoke with a friend that reviews for Voopoo and evidently they aren’t having any issues getting review samples to the US. It kinda sounds to me like sourcemore’s shipping issues are isolated.
After seeing Angie's post about the Vaporesso GTX, I went in search. I almost ordered from Sourcemore since no US shops have it. Then I remembered the shipping thing.
The Cancer has reared its ugly head. It is in my right lung now (it was in the my left) it is in two lymph nodes in my right lung. One next to my esophagus. When it was in the left lung it was also in the lymph nodes. Seems it will just keep circulating through my lymph system.
The PET scan that I got two weeks ago showed no spreading to my bones. I have a brain MRI next month to make sure it has not spread to my brain. Lung cancer usually spreads to either bone or brain if left untreated.
I am still vaping the little disposables from OXVA. I worry about the juice in them. Is it safe? I have on occasion gone back to a tank on a mod with a drop in coil and my own homemade juice and OMGosh it is making me cough again just like it did when I started vaping. So I am left to wonder, which one is safer?
Any input is greatly appreciated.

If you could use the Vaporesso GTX One 40W Mod (with 2,000 mAh internal battery), instead of the GTX One Pro (with a 3,000 mAh internal battery) ....Element Vape still has the mods in stock in Silver, Red, and Blue.
Vaporesso GTX One 40W Box Mod $49.99
Discover the Vaporesso GTX One 40W Box Mod, featuring an integrated 2000mAh rechargeable battery, 5-40W range, and works with 510 threaded tanks and rebuildables.

Got a notice from health cabin, order should be here in 15-30 days. Wish sourcemore would use fasttech ways to ship; I always received those orders.
So the old style mod is making you cough but the disposable isn't. Is the disposable salt nic?
Maybe blowing it out without inhaling into your lungs would help.
Irritation and coughing might not directly relate to safety. Doubt if anyone really knows the answers. Doctors would probably advise you not to vape at all, not because they actually know it's bad for you but just because it might be.
In your situation I would follow my instincts.
Fingers crossed for you.
I think Mike Vapes said on ST live that Aspire no longer ships to the US, so it seems to be very complex about who does and who doesn't.
It all boils down to the changes the current government made with packages under $800.
All civilized nations have a code set for exports and imports, and the US didn't add a new code to their system when they made the changes, that's one issue.
The other is that the US requires tariffs to be introduced in advance, that may not be a big problem, but is it still the case on returns, who pays back the raw tariff, and how.
It was rough why it's complicated.
PS, gifts under $100 are fine, all packages under $800 are subject to the new tariff system to the US.
Technically, a content would probleby fall under the category of a gift.
I don't get the stuff about shipping small items. As I understood it the import law changes should make all small items more expensive and slower, but it seems like a toss-up whether that happens.
I was looking through my old orders on Amazon to reorder something. Noticed an old order for a small brass nameplate from China for something I made for my GGD. Around $12. You have to tell them what you want engraved on it so it couldn't be coming from a US warehouse. Clicked on it and they are still for sale at the same price, with no indication of extra charges or import tax,
Are some of the Chinese sellers finding ways round the import changes.

I hope the research gives good results for you, and that it keeps the cancer at bay or minimizes it.
It's hard to say what is safest to choose, if you cough from a type of wrap I didn't choose it, but it could also depend on freebase vs nic salt.
Since disposables are nic salt I would maybe try a normal mod, but use juice with nic salt to see if that solves the problem you had last time.
I think there are quite a few Chinese companies that don't care about the tariff and ship as they always have, leaving the customer to be lucky or unlucky.
Ebay, which is a large platform, now requires the US customer to pay the tariff when purchasing, i.e. in advance.
I remember back in the later years ordering from Fasttech my packages went through the Netherlands and would come from there to the USA by boat. Only took a week or two longer than by air. I'd happily wait a bit longer and know I would receive the package.
The Chinese have become faster in recent years; before, it was more like they used rowboats to transport across the sea.
Morning shinies
F... cancer. I'm thinking of you.
Adding on to what @Tor R said about disposables using nic salt. Are your old tanks DL or mtl? If you can vape oxbars dl with no issues, then you just need nic salt juice.
Once you get the juice sorted, another simple setup is the vaporesso armor gs.

Good afternoon ladies and gentlemen,
no packages today, most of them stopped at DHL, unlike the Chinese they don't use rowboats yet although it is in the cards.
Tomorrow and Friday are a big chance though.
I'm still working with Themes, too bad Evolv doesn't have a manual in pdf for how to set up themes, advanced themes and enhanced themes.
There is one among us who is very skilled, @ShamrockPat , maybe one day I'll send him a PM when I'm totally stuck.
Now that I've worked a lot in Themes I have to say that the color chipset has grown on me
